Grand Island, Nebraska

It’s All In A Day

When the Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 2,
addresses duality as a reality in this world, it is no joke. We, our troupe, saw so much of it in the last
three days, weather wise. Day one, we
saw sun. Day two, we saw rain. Day three, we saw wind. Physically, we went through a
roller-coaster. It was hot. It was cold.
Hail came down the size of diamonds at one point. Hayagriva, Marshall and I met the extreme
side of nature. And there was a tornado
twisting around the area, near Omaha, which was behind us.

Fun?Yes!Exhausting?Yes!Out of it, we are developing the robustness needed to continue on.

What did help to add to the fun was
people—motorists honking.Motorists
stopping.“Would you like a ride?”

This is big cattle country.Monsanto.Corn culture.Nice people.Llamas.Wild rabbits.Raccoons and
possums.A baby possum’s head was the
only whole thing left after an attempted crossing of Highway 34.

At the end of the day Hemant, our motel
room accomodater, served great Gujarati food.We got to know his teens, Kajal and Akash, better, and the three of us,
Hayagriva, Marshall and myself, are getting to know each other better,
too.That can’t be helped.Our life is in the van, that is, when I'm not
walking.

ABOUT ME

I am a disciple of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and I became a monk of the Hare Krishna order in 1973. My teacher gave me the spiritual name, Bhaktimarga Swami, which means "the path of devotion". Of course, this fits right in with my avid promotion of walking adventures as a way to connect with the Divine and lead a more care-free / car-free lifestyle. It is a great joy to share these adventures in both Canada and abroad with you via my daily blog.
